Following is the translated update from Elsword KR’s Suggestion boards.

———————————-

Hello. This is GM Mackerel.
Is everyone having an even better adventure with the new PvP Season 3?
With the recent balance revamp that affected all characters, I would imagine suggestion boards would be heating up even more.
What kind of messages did we receive from our adventurers during 2014/05/04 ~ 05/17?
Firstly, let’s check out the ones that were implemented.

1. Implemented Suggestions

① Character Balance Revamp
– A lot of adventurers shared their opinions on each character’s balance so far. We checked all these thoroughly and finally the 1st 2014 Balance revamp happened! We’re going take the future revamp in even more fun direction so look forward to it.

② Arena PvP chat block feature
-The frequent PvP chatting on/off feature suggestion was finally implemented in 05/22 maintenance! If you only want to focus on the gameplay try using the chat block feature~

③ Underground Chapel (Very Hard) crashing fix
– There was a problem of game crashing when soloing the Underground Chapel dungeon boss. This issue was fixed in 5/09 client patch. If you are still having problems, please send us a report~

Next is the popular suggestion that lots of adventurers discussed about, having over 100 comments.

2. Popular Suggestion
